Welcome to The Works, a playlist handpicked by our editors to help you discover classical’s finest new albums. For this week’s opening track, Francesco Tristano injects exhilarating rhythmic drive into the “Prelude” from J.S. Bach’s English Suite No. 3 in G Minor. “The English Suites are unique,” Tristano tells Apple Music Classical. “They have these extravagant opening movements which are extremely virtuosic.” Tristano brings an unrivalled textural clarity to the music, as you’ll hear in the explosive few seconds and beyond, as right and left hands exchange musical ideas in rapid succession. Don’t forget that we regularly update The Works, so if you find a piece of music or a performance you particularly love, be sure to add it to your library.
